Slumberjack (Live)

Bass-heavy and bombastic, frenetic yet lush, the music of Slumberjack is born from its Perth-based creators’ passion for contrast. Made up of DJ/producers Morgan Then (a 23-year- old Borneo-bred concert pianist and former world-music artist) and Fletcher Ehlers (a 21-year- old Australia native who taught himself to make electronic music at age 11), the duo dig into their disparate backgrounds to push into thrillingly original sonic territory. On their debut EP Slumberjack (Onelove), that dynamic reveals itself in lead single “Body Cry” (a melody-driven EDM-meets- R&B fusion included in the weekly “Skrillex Selects” SoundCloud playlist series last year) and its follow-up “Horus” (a heavy-hitting and hypnotic Eastern-flavored track that climbed to #1 on Hype Machine). With the EP hitting #2 on the iTunes electronic chart soon after its November 2014 release, Slumberjack are emerging as one of the most exciting and daringly creative acts within Australia’s electronic music scene.
